Living in Clermont Ferrand? See French tutors' reviews & videos

Bonjour! 

 I come from Nancy in the north-east of France. I lived one year in Spain and  I am living now in Dublin. 

 I studied Performing Art and film studies in France, Spain and in Ireland. I am passionate about travelling, discovering new cultures and art. I completed a diploma to teach French to foreigners (DAEFLE- Alliance Française de Paris) in 2023. I am also an examiner and corrector for the DELF-DALF exam.

I started teaching French part-time 6 years ago when I moved to Dublin. I used to help Irish teenagers to prepare their French exams (Leaving Cert - Junior Cert) and students at the University (preparing oral exams, proof-reading essays).  I have been teaching French online since April 2020 and in person to adults and kids in some languages school since February 2021. 

I teach French to all levels (beginners to advanced) and all ages (kids, teenagers, adults). I can help you to improve your French skills (grammar, vocabulary, French culture, oral fluency) , to prepare your essays, oral presentation, job interview, Delf-Dalf exams  … With  children I usually use a power point to learn basics vocabulary and sentences, and make French games with them. 

I am flexible to your needs, level and way of learning. I use videos and articles based on your interests and encourage practising conversation. I also often relate the lessons to French culture as film, music, news , literature ... I can provide grammar lessons and exercises.

À bientôt !

About Me

I hold degrees in French Literature, Philosophy, and History from Université Paris 10, along with a Master of Science in Global Change Management from HNE Eberswalde.

Before settling in São Paulo, Brazil, I lived and worked in Berlin for five years, where I began teaching languages through private tutoring and literacy classes for young refugees. In 2017, I completed a French language teaching certification and went on to teach at the Technical University of Berlin for three semesters.

Today, I work with a range of language schools in São Paulo, including IFESP, Versátil Idiomas, and the Alliance Française. I have experience teaching students of all ages and levels, and I regularly design personalized learning materials to meet their goals.

Alongside teaching, I work as a translator, with professional experience translating from English, German, and Portuguese into French.

My Methodology

I offer a highly adaptive, student-centered approach — rooted in curiosity, creativity, and care.

Whether your goal is to pass an exam, grow professionally, travel, or simply reconnect with the joy of language, I build a personalized learning journey tailored to your rhythm, interests, and way of thinking.

Beyond traditional grammar and vocabulary, I incorporate contemporary tools and immersive media — sometimes drawing on memes, music, or multilingual storytelling — to help you engage with the language in a dynamic and meaningful way.

Over the past four years, I’ve curated a rich and evolving digital library of resources, which allows me to create flexible, intuitive learning paths for each student — all available to you with no extra cost.

Hi! My name is Simon and I am French.

You are beginner in French? Your level is intermediate? Advanced? You want to improve your fluency? You want to speak genuine French? 

I have a special methodology for you. With more than 5 000 hours of teaching online, it has become clear what works best for you.

Here is an exemple of a methodology, that is adapted for each level and each student;

We study a grammar rule, and a vocabulary theme.

Then we do exercices to practice.

After this, we have an oral conversation and you have the opportunity to use the grammar rules and the vocabulary studied.

In the beginning of each lesson, we review words studied previously.

Besides, I can send homework, if you want to progress faster.

I will be happy to help you so you are welcome to book a lesson now!

Bonjour ! My name is Stéphanie.

I am a very friendly and relaxed teacher and I will make you feel at ease with me (which is primeval when learning a new language). According to your level, needs and desires, I am using different media and resources. If you are beginners, I prefer using numerical methods responding to the progression of the Common European Framework of Reference. A language has to be spoken; that is why I often start and finish classes working on oral production while I am correcting you on a Google doc, not to be interrupting you.

I always remain available for my students on Whatsapp or by email, to answer any questions or doubts you may have. My availabilities are flexible so we could agree on a personalized schedule.

On a more personal note, I have always shown a great interest for languages, new cultures and travelling. I used to be an air hostess, living in London, Barcelona and finally Dubai; this is when I decided to become a French Teacher, as I was starting giving lessons to a few of my friends and colleagues. So I passed my French Teaching Diploma certified by the Alliance française. I wanted to be able to work anywhere around the world. But here I am now, back to my hometown in Southwest of France, teaching French online.

A bientôt !

Hello and welcome to my page!

My name is Célia, a native French teacher living abroad. I graduated with a master’s degree in French as a Foreign Language [teaching French to foreigners] in 2020 at the University of Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, and I became a certified DELF (A1–B2) corrector in 2022. I grew up in a small village near Montpellier, and I have lived in Northern Ireland, Germany, and Asia.

During my master’s degree, I learned how to create didactic units (lessons), design exams, and work with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I have been teaching French both online and on-site—in international schools and at the Alliance Française : from A1 to C2 levels, to learners of all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, looking to build your skills, or just want to practice speaking, I’ll be happy to help!

In our first class, I’ll ask you why you want to learn French, what your goals and interests are, what your current level is, and if you want to focus on any particular aspect of the language. This first conversation during our trial lesson helps me get a better idea of your level so I can prepare a plan tailored to your needs. The materials I use are varied: listening exercises from media sources, text comprehension (books, articles, excerpts), grammar practice, and more. All resources are adapted to your level and objectives. Most materials are provided, and I also share a lesson summary and homework after each session （-＾▽＾-).

My teaching method is mainly based on communicative and action-oriented approaches. I aim to involve learners actively in their learning process and help them speak as much French as possible, in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. I know learning a new language isn’t always easy—mistakes are part of the process! I’m here to guide you, support you, and help you gain confidence step by step.

I’m passionate about languages and culture, and I love exchanging with people from all over the world. I’m sure we’ll find plenty of interesting topics to talk about while building your French skills!

À bientôt!

Bonjour! 

With a Master's in French as a Foreign Language (FLE), I am deeply passionate about language learning and teaching my native tongue—French!

I am well-versed in the DELF A1-B2 exams and offer lessons focused on pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar for casual learners. I have taught French online and in person to learners of all ages. I tailor my lessons to each student's level and goals. My priority is to help you gain confidence and make tangible progress in French.

For the trial lesson

• I will first share a Google Docs document with you. This will allow you to access lesson plans in advance and add your own notes throughout our sessions.
• In the first few minutes, I’ll ask you to introduce yourself and share your expectations for our lessons.
• We will start with simple exercises to assess your comfort level with grammar, reading, listening, and speaking.

If your main focus is speaking, we will engage in various speaking exercises to help you gain confidence in the language. If you're preparing for the DELF exams or any school/university assessments, we will target the areas you feel need the most improvement. And if you're here to learn French in a fun and relaxed way, we can explore any themes or topics that interest you.

I hope to see you very soon! 😊

Bonjour, c'est Caroline.

Originaire de Bretagne 😊

Avec plus de 8 ans d'expérience en tant que professeure de français, j'ai eu la chance d'enseigner à des étudiants adultes et enfants, et plus particulièrement aux personnes ayant un projet d'expatriation ou souhaitant passer des examens.

My teaching approach is primarily focused on oral practice. I firmly believe that communication is the key to mastering a language, which is why my lessons are interactive and based on lively, real-life exchanges. Whether through discussions, role-playing, or real-world simulations, I emphasize speaking skills to help you gain fluency and confidence. I have worked with adults, teenagers, and children, adjusting my methods to suit each individual. Teaching younger learners has allowed me to develop fun and creative techniques to make learning French both enjoyable and motivating. 

As an expatriate myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language in an international environment, which allows me to tailor my lessons to the specific needs of each student. Whether you are preparing for an exam, improving your French for work or travel, or simply discovering the French language and culture, I will be there to support and guide you to make quick and effective progress.

Are you tired about the boring courses of the language schools?

Are you tired of learning only grammar rules without being able to formulate a single coherent sentence?

Are you looking for a more versatile method for learning French in a more confident way?

Are you looking for a teacher who gets immediately your point and knows exactly how to make you reach your goals as soon - and as quick as possible ?

Then you found him ! I am that teacher !

According to your level (starter or advanced), I adapt my method as following:

Starters : I use a particular book that helps you to work on all the aspects of the language at the same time (phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, reading) and helps structuring the courses

Advanced : I practice conversation with you about more or less complex subjects to increase your vocabulary and to correct the remaining imperfections

Of course, I always adapt my method to your individual situation

About me : I was born in Switzerland. My mother tongue is French, which I always speak with my relatives and my friends. I also speak Italian as I grew up in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (Ticino) and I still live there

I also speak English, a bit of Serbian and Russian

I am looking forward to seeing you, so please do select a time for a trial lesson

See you soon. A bientôt. A presto
